Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 3 units large eggs
• 0.75 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups freshly grated carrots
• 0.5 cups raisins
• 0.5 cups crushed canned pineapple, drained

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Beat together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Gradually add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing continuously until well incorporated.

Step 5

Slowly add in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, and crushed pineapple using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice the cake into squares and serve. Enjoy your nut-free carrot cake slices optionally topped with a glaze or cream cheese frosting if desired.
